[chandler-users] Survey: What kind of notifications would be useful to you?

[Rick Rawson]

Reading Moyra's email, it became clear that, undoubtedly, different 
users have different needs for notification. I sit at my computer about 
80% of the day, so the popups that Chandler offers right now are quite 
sufficient. I can imagine that other folks who are "out and about" might 
need a remote notification system.

Currently, Chandler popups remind me about things that need attention 
NOW or very soon (today). I'm quite happy with this. The only feature 
that would help me (I believe this has already been entered as a bug) is 
the ability to organize LATER by time/date. I don't want Chandler to 
notify me of the 50 things that I need to do LATER, but being able to 
scan a date-sorted list would be much more useful and efficient in my 
hands than receiving a notification for each one.
